Eelco Dolstra 787469c7b6 Remove corepkgs/unpack-channel.nix 2020-09-17 09:41:02 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 045708db43 Make <nix/unpack-channel.nix> a builtin builder
This was the last function using a shell script, so this allows us to
get rid of tar, coreutils, bash etc.

This has been ignored since the Perl->C++ rewrite.

Bjørn Forsman f72206b736 unpack-channel.nix: fix 'mv' corner case
unpack-channel.nix fails if the tarball contains a directory named the
same as the channel:

  mv: cannot move 'nixpkgs' to a subdirectory of itself, '.../nixpkgs'

This commit fixes that by not moving the directory if it already has the
correct name.

Eelco Dolstra 6f0c6e20e0 Don't rely on __noChroot for corepkgs
This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is
enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures
that its closure is present in the chroot.

Eelco Dolstra 5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.

Eelco Dolstra 663c06e8cd Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs
The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or
in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.

Eelco Dolstra e855c7e2c9 nix-channel improvements
"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name.
This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable.
If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL
(with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed).

Also, channels are now stored in a profile
(/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels).  One advantage of
this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives
an undesirable update).

Eelco Dolstra 39d45a6b09 * Add a test for nix-channel.
* Refactor the nix-channel unpacker a bit.
